The blur of Barney

 I'm taking a photography class this summer, trying to learn how to use my new Canon T2i camera that I bought recently. I've always wanted to learn more about photography, but I've never had anything other than a point and shoot camera.

Recently one of our assignments was to get some action shots. I was successful with some of them, but trying to capture Barney when he's running was beyond my limited understanding of shutter speed and f-stops.

Like most of the time when he's running, in this shot he was simply a blur! That's his favorite yellow ball in his mouth. No wonder he's running so fast--he doesn't want anyone else to have it. ;-)

I'm including this photo here, hoping that someday soon with a lot more practice, I'll be able to figure out how to capture him correctly.

You have to learn what works and what doesn't. I suspect this photo captures the essence of Barney better than a stop-action one would.

It's definitely his essence!
